 ontreal      Tuberculosis (TB) is the 4th leading cause of death in Kenya.
  The Government of Kenya's TB programme was the first in sub-Saharan Afric
 a to meet the WHO targets for case detection and treatment success. Yet\, 
 nearly 20\,000 patients go undetected each year and the challenge of drug 
 resistance may be mounting. In alignment with a new constitution and new n
 ational health sector strategy\, the Kenyan national TB program developed 
 a 4-year strategic plan for the period 2015-2018. The plan responds to evi
 dence garnered from an electronic\, case-based monitoring system that enab
 led sub-national analysis of epidemiological and programmatic realities. T
 he opportunities and challenges of using sub-national data for planning wi
 ll be discussed.  Learning objectives:1) Understand the epidemiology of TB
  and status of TB control in Kenya2) Understand the role of epidemiologica
 l and programmatic evidence in decision-making and national TB programme p
 lanning3) Become familiar with the WHO-recommended monitoring and evaluati
 on system for TB control as a source for TB epidemiological data    Christ
